Posting information to online tools seems an effective tool for sharing information, but I’m still a little tentative about who can get their hands on it. Do I really want to be sharing my personal thoughts and information with the world?
These advances are necessary to understand because it is a cultural change and trends indicate this is the way people will communicate in the future. But, why would I want to learn how to download things to my mobile phone? Because that’s how business will be conducted in the near future. It would be like refusing to learn how to use a personal computer 20 years ago – I would be at a distinct competitive disadvantage if I couldn’t use a computer, access email on my mobile phone, run spreadsheets, etc.
Even if I never master the skill sets to establish an effective blog, to teach usage of google docs, or to lead our company into new technological arenas, it is important for me to know how to use those tools and understand how people use them in business.
Best discovery of the day is Google docs -- which is a terrific solution to “shared” documents. It eliminates sending the “Final” version back and forth 5 times before reaching the actual “Final v.5” document. It would reduce the number of times we clog our email server with enormous files being swapped for editing purposes. I’m wondering how secure it is, and whether or not there are ways to block clients from seeing drafts before the document is finalized.
